Teaching Internships

Practicum Overview for All Department of Education Programs

All Department of Education programs require the completion of multiple practicum internships. Below are practicum credit lists for each of the different programs. Contact the internship supervisors with any questions.

EDU 309 Practicum I (with seminar): This is an observation focused practicum that occurs every Friday morning throughout the semester.
EDU 319 Practicum II (with seminar): This is the ESOL-based practicum and requires one morning and one afternoon per week throughout the semester. EDU 409 Practicum III (with seminar): This is a group and classroom focused practicum, every Tuesday and Thursday morning (7:15 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.) throughout the semester.
